SPS provides calibration services for pressure, temperature, flow, and general instrumentation from our facility in Hull and on-site at client locations across the UK. Accurate measurement is fundamental to safe operations, product quality, and regulatory compliance, and our calibration service ensures your equipment is reading correctly and within tolerance.
Using traceable reference standards and calibrated master instruments, our experienced technicians verify and adjust your equipment to deliver readings you can trust. Every calibration is fully documented with certificates that satisfy audit, regulatory, and quality management requirements.

Our Capabilities
Our calibration service is designed to be thorough, efficient, and minimally disruptive to your operations. Key capabilities include:
- Workshop and on-site calibration: we can calibrate at our Hull facility or come to your site, minimising equipment downtime
- Traceable reference standards: all calibrations are performed against reference instruments with documented traceability to national standards
- Calibration certificates: detailed certificates recording as-found and as-left readings, tolerances, and pass/fail status
- Adjustment and repair: where equipment is found to be out of tolerance, we can adjust or repair to bring it back within specification
- Scheduled calibration programmes: we can manage your calibration schedule, sending reminders and coordinating service visits to keep you compliant
- Fast turnaround: standard calibrations are typically completed and returned within a few working days
